You wake up in a great mood. The day is yours! Then you get to work and that negative co-worker starts bitching about their morning so far, how other co-workers annoy them and before you know it you already start getting sucked in. Suddenly the pile of papers is causing anxiety, you start thinking about…
Things To Do In Cleveland-September 2012
I know it’s still August and so you’re ready to throw something at me for even putting the word September in your face, but it will be here in just 3 weeks so why not get ready now?! You know there’s always so many things going on at one time here, so here’s a heads…
Joy In Random Moments
I’m generally not one for making plans. Granted I have to in some way on a daily basis-we all do. This week I had many things planned. But even the few things that technically went accordingly didn’t really go accordingly. The great surprises that came out this week (so far) not only has made me…
Closing A Chapter
Today is officially my last day of school at the Ohio Center for Broadcasting, and I’ll be a graduate next week. It has been a challenging, but completely rewarding year. I have made so many friends, and my classmates have become like family. I have had many amazing opportunities and tried things I never thought…
Compassion
Compassion is apparently a virtue I have forgotten lately. The image below, which I found on Pinterest (shocking, I know…), was the wake up call I needed. I need to lose the ego. Stop looking at the past, placing blame, being hurt and angry. I need to forgive. I have confused “being a doormat” and compassion. They…
Why Stay With Abuse?
Huffington Post is reporting today that once again Rihanna and Chris Brown were spotted kissing (see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/27/rihanna-chris-brown-back-together-kissing-report_n_1709638.html ). After everything that has gone down in the press- the original images of Rihanna with a black eye, Chris’s public apology, the back and forth relationship….at some point you think she would get some sense and stop dating him. What…

A Woman Named Tiana
Tiana has pale skin and bright red hair. She’s eccentric, fun and French. She comes to the bar I work at occasionally on Sundays to have a drink or two and see what band is playing. The first time I met her I didn’t recognize her accent until she asked me for a lemon (“a lee-mon please”)….
Back To Yoga!
Yesterday I went back to yoga for the first time in months. I didn’t realize how much I needed it till I finally went. Shakthi, my instructor, is amazing! He teaches yoga in a way that helps to make me focus. No offense to other instructors I have had, but I’m so in my head that I…

So, I present to you the top things/phrases that piss off and annoy bartenders. Feel free to add one’s that may bother you…
